Principal's Pen
Greetings Chaffee Families,
Each day we remind students to make Chaffee Choices: Cooperate with Others, Engage in All Tasks, and Show Respect. Please reiterate these school expectations at home. Our students have excellent behavior at school, and we want that to continue. Your partnership in reminding students of behavior expectations is vital to student success. This Friday we will have our monthly PBIS Celebration, and we want all students to earn this celebration. It’s going to be a very exciting Glow Party, but we can't do it without you! Volunteer here!
We want our students to be Number Ninjas! Keep practicing math facts with your child(ren)! Over 300 of our students earned their first belt star last week!
Our January Attendance Challenge is underway! Please ensure your child is at school each day unless (s)he is excluded for sickness. Please send a note or email or call the school to provide an excuse for each absence.
Chaffee Elementary will be hosting 6 Families and Schools Together (F.A.S.T.) Meetings beginning Tuesday, January 28, and continuing each Tuesday until March 4. F.A.S.T. Meetings will take place in the cafeteria from 5:30-7:30pm. There will be free food and Chaffee teachers on hand to supervise Chaffee students while their parents attend F.A.S.T. Meetings. Any children who are not Chaffee students will need to stay with their parents during these meetings. Please see the flyer below for topics. If you would like to attend one or more F.A.S.T. Meetings, please email Jenna Goodson at jgoodson@fsc-hsv.org to reserve your spot and to get included in our headcount for food. Please include the number of adults and children that will be attending. While there is no limit to the number of attendees for the F.A.S.T. Meetings, we will only be able to supervise the first 30 Chaffee students that RSVP. We would love to see you there!
Over the past two weeks our students have taken middle of the year i-Ready Reading and Math tests. Students who met their growth goals and/or are on grade level will get to attend our i-Ready Winter Carnival, scheduled for Friday, February 7!
You can purchase your child's yearbook online here.
Please remember that students need tennis shoes/sneakers for PE daily. Wearing proper shoes prevents injuries.
Keep selling chocolate for Chaffee & the Chocolate Factory!
